Theatergoers are eagerly waiting for the two mega releases of Bollywood which is supposedly the fronting films and will be released on same dates. There is a clash between Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Oh My God 2 (OMG 2) which is scheduled for release on August 11, 2023.
Recently Sunny Deol spoke about why it is unnecessary to draw comparison between films.
Sunny Deol stated, “Gadar did Rs 100 crore plus (at the box office), while Lagaan did much lesser. I don’t understand why people compare whether it’s from the business or likeability point. Gadar didn’t have the perception, people thought it is this masala film, yeh purani type ki picture hai, purane type ke gaane hai (People thought Gadar is old sort of film with old songs). On the other hand, people thought Lagaan was classic, etc. The so-called people who talk about films had run down Gadar completely. It went on to become a people’s film, and they loved it. At award shows, I remember that they made a spoof of Gadar, but we weren’t bothered by it. It has happened with some of my other films too, like Ghayal and Dil, which clashed. There is no comparison, but people like to do it.”
Sunny further averred, “What I am trying to say is that jo film zyada acchi hoti hai phir bhi aap usko doosre films ke barabari mein le aatey ho. Jis cheez ki barabari nahin hai, mat karo (Why must people compare a good film with others. Films that have no comparison should not be pitted against each other).”
On the other hand, CBFC has been cautiously working on Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2, over any controversial dialogues and scenes in the film if any.
